If life were a fairytale, finding happiness would be simple.

All one would have to do was to avoid “doing the wrong thing”.

But in this lifetime, that was already impossible for me.

There was no “happy ending” waiting for me at the end of this path soaked in blood. 

I will fall into the darkness, and rot away unnoticed by anyone. 

That was the ending I wished for.

— I had long given up on everything. 

…

Middle-Aged Politician: Did you hear about Her Majesty?

Short-Haired Politician: About her not saying a single word to the foreign envoys who came to visit? 

Short-Haired Politician: What laughable behaviour for the ruler of a country. 

I was on my way to a parliamentary meeting when I overheard the gossiping.

Middle-Aged Politician: Her Majesty is truly strange, isn’t she? She never shows her face, and never speaks.

Middle-Age Politician: She leaves all her duties to that guy (the Queen's Aide). 

Middle-Aged Politician: I wonder if that Aide’s actions are really made on Her Majesty’s will. 

Short-Haired Politician: Who knows? But considering that man with an unknown origin holds the position of Queen’s Aide… 

Short-Haired Politician: Maybe “this” is the reason.

The man raised his pinky finger with a smirk.

Middle-Aged Politician: I don't know what tricks he pulled to secure his position, but there’s no other explanation for it.

I stopped behind them.

Victor: The conversation sounds enjoyable. Mind if I join in? 

Middle-Aged Politician: Wha—

The blood drained from their faces the moment I spoke.

Victor: I wonder what Her Majesty would think if she knew there were people in the palace insulting her.

Short-Haired Politician: T-that’s… 

Victor: Her Majesty is a kindhearted woman, so she might not punish you directly. 

I placed a hand on one of their shoulders and whispered in his ear.

Victor: But what about me? 

Middle-Aged Politician: —! 

They stood petrified on the spot, unable to move. 

I started walking away without sparing them another glance.

(As always, this place is like a battlefield.)

A ruler was no different from someone whose head was under a guillotine at all times. 

Even if the people they were meant to protect threw stones at them and the throne was drenched in blood, they must do what was necessary for the sake of the country. 

And if their death was what the country and its people needed, then they must willingly offer their head in sacrifice.

(Even if it goes unrewarded, because that’s what duty means.) 

When I turned my gaze toward the clear blue sky, a white bird flew in the air.

(It’s a robin.)

I was captivated by the sight of it flying freely, and I paused for a moment to watch.

When its white wings disappeared from my sight, 

I had a strange premonition that something was about to change. 

…

After the parliamentary meeting was over, I went to meet up with William, who left ahead of me to gather information. 

I soon spotted him in the distance, looking unusually pleased. 

William: I kept you waiting, Victor.

Victor: For you, I’d be more than happy to wait for hours. … My, did something good happen?

When I asked the question, he glanced back in the direction he came from and his smile deepened. 

William: Indeed. I met a lovely little robin with a beautiful voice. 

(A robin…) 

I was reminded of the bird I saw earlier, but what interested me more at that moment was William, who rarely took interest in people.

Victor: Oh? … If it’s someone who’s caught your attention, then I’d like to meet them too.

William: She's someone you would certainly be interested in as well. … Well then.

William’s facial expression shifted into a more serious one.

William: Did you get the information on our target? 

Victor: Yes, the target’s wife and children will be attending a play tonight.

Victor: Afterwards, they’ll stay over at a friend’s house and won’t return until morning.

Victor: Meanwhile, our target will give the play a miss to spend some quality time with the maid. 

William: I see. This is the perfect opportunity, then.

Victor: However, it's best if we still remain cautious. Apparently, security around the estate was recently tightened. 

Victor: In order to strengthen our bond, why don’t we all go together?

William: I have no objections, but I imagine they would be rather surprised. 

He spoke with a hushed voice and turned to me with a smirk.

William: I doubt they’d ever imagine all members of Her Majesty's imperial organisation would show up at the same time. 

He appeared satisfied seeing my smirk that matched his.

William then hailed a carriage to return to the castle. 

However, I declined to go with him, intending to pick up some gifts for my beloved Cursed Ones, and so we parted ways. 

…

The moment I arrived at Leadenhall Market, I happened to witness a spectacle unfolding in my line of sight.

Man: Stop right there!! 

A man whose face was twisted in fury twisted the arm of a poorly dressed young girl. 

Girl: That hurts! 

The girl held a necklace in her hand, and it was obvious she had stolen it.

Man: I’ll make sure you can never use this hand again! 

The man raised the fire poker in his hand, ready to hit her. 

No one moved to stop him.

— Except for one person.

Kate: Wait.

A clear voice rang through the air.

Man: Hah!? Whaddya want!?

All the attention was instantly focused on the owner of that voice. 

Kate: H-hey, return the item you stole. I’ll listen to what you have to say afterwards— 

As the man turned his gaze toward the lady slowly approaching them, the young girl seized the opportunity to land a kick on his arm. 

Girl: Take that! 

Man: Ouch!?

Breaking free from his grip, the young girl darted off and disappeared into the crowd. 

Man: Get back here, ya thief—! Damn it! Look what ya just did! 

Kate: I-I’m sorry… 

Man: Ya gonna pay for what she stole!?

Kate: Yes, I will! 

I narrowed my gaze as she pulled her wallet out with tears welling up in her eyes. 

Victor: … I see. A wonderful little robin indeed. 

Taking a step back, I turned around and began walking away. 

She didn’t notice. 

(It’s better this way.) 

Without doing any shopping, I went back the way I came from and returned to the castle—.  

…

William: Oh, you’re back already.

Victor: Will, if you ever see that little robin again, I’d like to meet her too. 

Fate brought along emotions that couldn't be abandoned, along with happiness.

William: What’s this all of a sudden? It’s rare for you to take such interest in someone. 

Vivid memories of my past resurfaced. 

Victor: I’d like to meet her only once.

Victor: Naturally, I’d be curious about someone one of my beloved Cursed Ones has taken interest in. 

The time that had stopped until now started moving again.

William: …  Alright, I’ll call for you if I meet her again. 

Victor: Okay, I’m counting on you for that. 

And so, the little robin came flying to us. 

…

Victor: Welcome back, my beloved Cursed Ones! 

Victor: … Hm? And who might this young lady be…?

She came to me, who had given up on everything. 

William: This is Kate. She happened to be at the target’s residence.

(Right, this is something you’re unaware of.)

Victor: Wow. That’s… quite the fateful coincidence. 

— A fateful “coincidence” indeed.

01 ┊ The final promise, a mother's death

— jude⌛'s past records, record #1.

— cw: domestic child abuse (physical), death of a family member, mentions of alcoholism and family neglect.

The amount of happiness a person is given in their lifetime is decided, and it is split equally for everyone.

Such was written in a book somewhere.

Just as there was no abundance of good things, neither was there an abundance of bad. Everything was made to be equal.

——If that was the case, then just what did this bloody wretched life of mine ever amount to?

Since I was born, I had never gotten a taste of that feeling called ‘happiness.’

My father was an immigrant from Ireland, who worked at the seaport.

The place was filled with violent people, making both public order and the working environment in poor condition, but not working would be the same as death.

And what was tragic about the job was the fact that you could be laid off at any point.

Jude’s father: Blast it all! I went outta my way to show up n’ they went and kicked me out!

Jude’s older brother: Was a fool’s errand from the start!

In the cramped house, the scent of liquor and tobacco pervaded the room,

and perhaps because of continuous exposure to that, my younger sister and I had weak lungs, and were often prone to asthma attacks.

Jude’s younger sister: *cough* *cough*...

Jude: Quit it already.

Jude’s father: ...Hah?

Jude: If ya continue smokin’ that stuff, ain’t no way we’re gettin’ any better.

J: If you’re gonna smoke go n’ do it outsi——gh!

All of a sudden, he hit my cheeks, and the moment I collapsed on the floor, he grabbed my hair.

Jude’s father: I dare ya to try sayin’ that again.

Jude: Hah, did ya drink so much booze your ears gone bad? I’ll say it however much I gotta.

J: I’m sayin’ ya don’t even got a penny in your pocket and yet ya go off smokin’ that stuff——guah!

This time, he hit my other cheek without holding back.

Jude’s father: Jude. How old are ya?

Jude: ...Five.

Jude’s father: Which is the age ya can go n’ work a job. And yet here ya are not doin’ that ‘cause you’re coughin’ a lung up.

Jude’s father: Who do ya think ya are, complainin’ when you’re a useless piece o’ trash, huh!?

Grasping at my hair, he tried to drag me around, when——

Jude’s mother: Stop this at once...!

Jude: Mum...

Jude’s mother: I’ll give him a talk and make him listen. Okay?

Mother took some money, and the two left the house for a drink.

(That cash... went and sold off clothes again, innit.)

She was a woman who could use perfect Queen’s English, and she was originally a well-to-do lady, or so I heard.

But, she pulled the short end of the stick, getting together with a good-for-nothing.

She sold the little jewels and clothes she had brought until she had nothing left to her name, and her health deteriorated.

—— Time skip (I think) ——

Jude’s mother: Jude, come here a bit.

Mother took me out to the garden, and there she took a stick and started writing something on the ground.

Jude: Mum, what’s this?

Jude’s mother: These are letters. They represent the words we speak... let’s see... it’s much like a ‘sign,’ so to speak.

Jude’s mother: See, this is how you write your name. J, U, D, E.

I copied Mother’s letters, writing them on the ground.

Jude: Wow, I could really get behind this. Hey, how do ya write Jazza——

Just then, Mother pulled me into an embrace.

Jude: Mum...?

Jude’s mother: In the times to come, even when your body is weak, and your money scarce, as long as you have wisdom, you can live on with that.

Jude’s mother: Jude, you are intelligent. I am sure knowledge will be your guardian.

Jude: Hey, mum, if ya hug me so tight it’s gonna hurt.

Jude’s mother: Hehe, you’re a big brother, aren’t you? You can handle this much at least.

Not too long after, Mother’s body grew weak, and she passed away.

The only thing left behind was the cold bed which she no longer occupied.

(She probably knew things would turn out this way.)

Running my hand along the cold surface of the bed, I recalled the final conversation we shared.

—— Flashback ——

Jude’s mother: Jude... I’m sorry.

Jude: What’re ya apologizin’ for? There’s a mountain of people other than ya who gotta apologize.

Father and my older brother drowned in alcohol, and even on death’s door, they didn’t bother even showing their faces.

Jude’s mother: ...I’m sorry, I’m sorry...

Jude: ...N’ like I said, don’t apologize.

Jude’s mother: ...Please...take care of your sister...Jude.

—— End flashback ——

That became the final conversation.

And, after that, my life stumbled even more down to the pits of hell.

Elbert Greetia: Both Ending Clear Epilogue

Blind Love Epilogue | Mad Love Epilogue

♡———♡

Every time I feel happiness with her,

--Every day, every day, the devil tempts me.

It's like being tempted by forbidden fruit.

Elbert: Kate... Open your mouth.

Kate: Ah... Mm...!

That afternoon, she had gotten a lot of apples from the bakery run by that woman, Jesse, and said she wanted to try a new recipe, so we baked an apple pie together.

When she took a bite of the piece I handed her, Kate's eyes sparkled.

Kate: This might have turned out really well, Lord Elbert...!

Elbert: ...Let me have a taste too.

Kate: Of course. ...Here you go.

I take a bite of the piece she offers me in the same way.

Elbert: ... Mm, ...Delicious.

Kate: Hehe...

When I muttered my honest impression, Kate smiled happily.

(...Cute. But...)

Elbert: Why are you so happy...?

Kate: I'm happy when you eat something delicious.

Saying that, she smiled even brighter.

(Ah...)

(--I'm happy.)

Since she started smiling next to me, I learned the taste of happiness.

It's so sweet it burns my throat, so fresh it melts--

--A taste that makes me want more as soon as I swallow it.

Kate: But feeding each other by hand while standing in the kitchen...

Kate: ...It's kind of unexpected.

Elbert: ...Why?

Kate: I thought you would have good manners because you're a noble...

Laughing mischievously, Kate took another bite from my hand.

Elbert: It's true that I received strict etiquette lessons...

I also take another bite of the piece in her hand.

Elbert: But after Al came to the mansion... Sometimes I would sneak around and play pranks.

Kate: Hehe... I see. If it's Alfons' influence, it makes sense.

Elbert: I was sometimes scolded for getting involved in Al's mischief... But I was saved more often than not.

Her lips, wet with the pie's butter and apple juice, were beautiful, and my eyes were glued to them.

Kate: ...I'm so jealous.

Her lips muttered an envious voice.

Elbert: ...?

Kate: I... I wish I could have sneaked into the kitchen with you when you were little and done bad things.

Kate: When I think that Alfons would be able to remember what kind of expression you had at that time...

Kate: ...It makes me jealous.

Revealing her adorable jealousy, Kate blushed faintly as if embarrassed.

(Me...)

(You have no idea how much more intense my jealousy is.)

I'm so crazy about her that if I thought someone else knew about this expression of hers, I'd seriously consider splitting their head open and gouging out the part of their memory where it's stored.

Kate: Let's put the rest of the apple pie away....Nnn....

I steal her lips and embrace her soft body.

Intertwining our tongues in her confusion, I lifted her up and sat her down on the counter. Kate's eyes flickered in a flurry of anxiety.

Kate: Ah, Lord Elbert.... in a place like this...

Elbert: ....You want to do naughty things with me in the kitchen.

Kate: But... ah...

Elbert: I want to do it with Kate too.

Kate: Ah, ahh.....Nn!

I want to hear the sweet voice that leaks out when she feels good, so I caress the spot where my fingertips have memorized on her body.

I took her ear into my mouth and ran my hands over her soft breasts, then between her legs, which were dripping with honey. The voice I had hoped for spilled out, vibrating my eardrums.

(I want to fill you up with me.)

(Whatever you see, wherever you go, I want you to think of me.)

(I want to steal your memories and paint them over with memories of me.)

Your body, your heart, even your thoughts, everything--.

(I want to make all of you mine.)

Kate: Haa... ah, Lord Elbert, more...

Elbert: ....Can I go deep inside you?

Kate: ... M-my voice...

Kate: My voice... it will come out... so, kiss me and stop it.

( ...Cute.)

Elbert: ... Mm.

Kate: Mmm––

(Cute, cute... my Kate.)

No matter how deeply we connect, no matter how much you kiss me, call my name, I want more, more.

I can't stop the overflowing desire––.

-

After doing something "bad," I carry her limp and lifeless body back to her room.

While cleaning Kate up and changing her clothes, which are stained with flour, honey, and who knows what else—

It seems Kate has fallen asleep, still sitting in the chair.

Elbert: Kate... has she fallen asleep?

(Ah...)

The shadow of Kate, sleeping with her back to the window, falls at my feet.

(Every time I feel happiness with you...)

(—Every day, every day, I'm tempted by the devil.)

(As if I'm being seduced by the forbidden fruit...)

I want to know everything about her, even the things she hides in her heart, I want to expose them all.

(If I step on her shadow now...)

(I'll know the deepest scar in her heart.)

(When were you the saddest...?)

(Who was there—?)

A dark emotion scorches my chest, and before I know it, I've taken a step forward.

Kate: Ah... uh...

My toes encroach upon her shadow.

Kate's brow furrows, and a tinge of sadness clouds her innocent sleeping face.

(Ah...)

In that moment, I come to my senses, and regret floods my chest.

(No, I have to stop—)

Kate: ... L-Lord Elbert...

Elbert: ...?

Just as I'm about to step back, her words freeze me in place.

Kate: ... N-No... please... Lord El...

Kate: Please... stop... this...

(...Eh?)

Her words, repeated like a sleep talker, are—familiar.

(That night I locked you away)

*flashback*

Kate: No... please, Lord Elbert...

Kate: ... Lord Elbert, please stop this...

*flashback over*

Kate: You no longer have to suffer... Lord Elbert...

A tear rolled down Kate's cheek.

Elbert: - Nn...!

I involuntarily stepped back and bumped into the shelf behind me.

My heart was pounding and my breathing was ragged.

Elbert: ... Is that what you were most sad about...?

(That by "having" you - I would suffer?)

You must have met and experienced many things before you met me.

I'm sure you've had a lot of hard and painful things happen to you.

But the deepest scar on her heart was the one I gave her.

Elbert: ...

My chest felt like it was going to collapse.

With intense guilt - and overwhelmingly dark and heavy joy.

Elbert: Kate...

I gently reached out to touch her sleeping lips.

Elbert: I'm sorry... for making you sad... and hurting you so deeply.

Elbert: And yet... I'm so happy about it.

Her lips were soft to the touch... a burning thirst in my throat, a welling of saliva... an unbearable hunger.

Elbert: ...Kate...

I leaned over her and kissed her lips as she breathed softly in her sleep.

If I sank my teeth into those lips, savored them with my tongue, and swallowed them deep into my throat, they would surely taste like sweet fruit.

Such distorted and crazy desires welled up and tempted me.

It seemed a miracle that she, so beautiful, was sleeping in front of me.

(Now, when you wake up-- you will realize how ugly I am.)

(Will you go somewhere far away from me?)

If that were to happen, I would rather cover her mouth with a kiss and make sure she never wakes up again.

Such a bad thought crossed my mind.

Kate: Hmm... Lord Elbert...?

Kate slowly opened her eyes, and her dreamy eyes looked at me.

(...Ah)

(Beautiful)

Every time she wakes up, my heart is shaken.

Without any exaggeration - she is the most beautiful in the world.

Kate: ...Oh... I fell asleep, didn't I...?

Elbert: ...Ah.

Kate: I think I had a sad dream...

Elbert: ...That's...

Kate looked up at me as I faltered, and smiled meltingly.

Kate: But... when I saw Lord Elbert's face, all the sadness went away...

My throat trembled and I couldn't say anything.

(...Only you would look at me and say that)

(Only you)

Kate: Oh, that's right... The rabbit stuffed animal...

Elbert: ...Rabbit?

Kate: The ribbon came undone again...

(Ah... that)

*flashback*

Kate: Could you tie this ribbon again if it comes undone?

Elbert: Why? I'm sure you could tie it much more beautifully.

Kate: ...I like this vertical knot.

*flashback over*

I remember how my heart warmed when she said she liked that crooked ribbon.

(I didn't know why at the time, but...)

(I'm sure...)

(I was happy that she showed warm affection... even for something crooked.)

Something not beautiful, far from perfect, ugly and incomplete.

Even so, it could make her smile.

It could be loved by her.

(Ever since then, I've always...)

(I wanted to be loved by you.)

Along with this twisted, ugly, incomplete desire.

Kate: Lord Elbert... Will you tie it again?

Elbert: ...It will become crooked again.

Kate: Yes... That's what I like.

Because Kate looks at me and smiles happily and lovingly, I... suppress the dark desire I felt in her sleeping face.

Elbert: Alright... I'll retie it tomorrow.

I picked her up, laid her on the bed, and lay down next to her.

When I hugged her tightly, she rubbed her cheek against my chest in response.

Kate: Mmm... It's warm...

Elbert: ...

He quietly exhaled deeply, trying to suppress the urge to tighten his arms around her.

He loved her so much it was almost suffocating, and he didn't want to crush her.

Kate: Let's eat the rest of the apple pie tomorrow...

Elbert: ...Yeah.

Kate: It would be nice to have a picnic...

Elbert: ...Yeah.

Kate: ...Lord Elbert...

Elbert: ...What?

Kate: ...I love you...

Elbert: ...I love you too.

Elbert: So much I can't breathe... I love you.

I will keep longing for you, the most beautiful woman in the world, whom I can never have.

What painful, yet happy days these are.

(Someday—when you fall into eternal sleep,)

(Perhaps then, I will consume you whole, and we will become one)

Suddenly, I dream of such a thing--

And my heart races like never before.

FIN

MAJOR Content Warning: Suicide

Our heavy breathing were the only sounds that could be heard on the abandoned clock tower. 

My father pointed the barrel of his gun in my direction, wearing an expression on his face that showed his desire for control. 

But that expression carried a hint of sorrow. 

Liam: I want my dead body to disappear without a trace. Decapitate me or toss me into the ocean, I don't care how you do it.

That was my final request to my father. 

Looking outside, I saw the night sky filled with stars and found myself thinking of Kate. 

I wondered when did I stop feeling inferior at the sight of beauty and start thinking of her instead.

Liam: … Can I say a few things? Take it as I’m saying my last words.

Liam: My life is worthless. I’ve always thought that I’d be better off dead, just like you said.

Liam: Just by being alive, I had countless wrongdoings that hurt people. Therefore, it was best if I disappeared as soon as possible.

I spoke those words calmly, as though I were merely stating the facts. 

Liam: However, when Jacob saved my life…

Liam: His last words, “please live”, held me back.

That voice I heard amongst the crackling flames shackled me to this word like a curse. 

Liam: That’s why I’ve been living my life so miserably, searching for an acceptable reason to die.

Liam: … Strange, isn’t it? People die without warning, and yet here I am alive and kicking even though I wish for death.

Crown’s work involved constant encounters with death. 

I had long lost count of how many deaths I’ve witnessed on our missions, as well as the number of lives my hands had claimed. 

I’ve witnessed too many times with my own two eyes, good people being consumed by evil and dying. 

(Death truly comes so suddenly. And yet, it seems like death despises me to the very core.) 

Liam: It was ridiculous, miserable… and I felt so guilty. I felt sorry for being alive.

Liam: That’s why I decided that for as long as I was alive, I wanted to be the kind of person everyone wanted me to be…

Liam: I tried so hard not to be hated, not to hurt others, and not to ruin anything. I looked like a complete fool…

(Like a dull, ugly rock pretending to be a beautiful star… I guess.)

Being alive meant tearing away at my heart, and I was utterly exhausted.

I wanted to lower the curtains on this pathetic play I call my life.

Liam: Because of that… I don’t hate the idea of dying.

Liam: I can end my life at last. 

(That was undoubtedly how I genuinely felt.)

Liam: But…

Liam: Just when I thought I would have no regrets… there was one thing I ended up fearing. 

Liam: One day, I met a girl.

Liam: She looked very anxious… so I approached her because I wanted to make her smile.

= Flashback Start =

Liam: Whoa, sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.

Liam: But I was getting really worried about you, so I couldn't help but sneak in. 

= Flashback End =

I still vividly remember Kate's wide-eyed expression when I appeared out of thin air before her, who was looking so uneasy. 

Liam: However… looking back, even though I said I was doing it for her sake, the truth was that I did it for myself. 

Liam: I wanted to be someone who she needed, because it made me feel like I had a reason to live.

Liam: Our relationship started because of such a selfish reason… but she’s given me so much.

Liam: Her every word, every glance, every move… all of it made me feel truly happy.

I forgot all about the presence of my father standing in front of me, and instead drowned in my memories of Kate. 

Liam: I especially loved the way she always believed in a tomorrow.

Liam: Whenever she was having a hard time, even if it was to the point of her being in tears, she always reached her hand out towards tomorrow. Her wise way of living was so moving.

Liam: She was the kind of woman who had hopes for the tomorrows of not just herself, but everyone around her, including someone like me.

Liam: Her existence was truly radiant. She made me feel like I could accomplish anything as long as I had her by my side.

(For even just a second longer, I want to meet your gaze.)

(For even just a second longer, I want to hear your voice.)

Liam: I’m definitely more in love with her than I deserve to be… I long for her from the bottom of my heart.

I realised why my heart felt restless whenever I looked at Kate.

But acknowledging that it was love I felt— was too presumptuous for someone as lowly as me. 

(Admitting that I love her when my life is about to end… how truly laughable.)

Liam: She’s so kind hearted, she’ll feel hurt and cry for sure if she knows I’m dead. … I must avoid that no matter what. 

Liam: She should never have to hurt for someone like me. 

Liam: I… I want all her tomorrows to shine brightly. 

(Because I fell in love with you, who believes in tomorrow.)

Max: So you want me to dispose of your body such that the girl won’t find it. … A very audacious request.

Liam: I’m sorry I can’t be a good son till the end. But, please, I’m begging you. 

(Ah…) 

Like it was signalling the end of my life, the cold wind slapped my cheek. 

Liam: Well then! It’s time to lower the curtains on this pathetic life. 

I took a deliberately lighthearted step forward and leaned my body out, like stepping onto stage. 

The stars were beautiful that night. 

They would surely shine brighter and more beautifully once I vanished from this world.

(I accept my death. No, rather, I’ve been wishing for it.)

(...)

(Or at least… I thought so.) 

(What is this overwhelming feeling of wanting to scream and cry that’s welling up in my chest…?) 

Something hot surged into my chest like a raging torrent. 

Liam: Ah…

Liam: Ahhh… 

Liam: In my next life, I want to be someone who’s loved by everyone…

Liam: I want to be someone… who can truly bring a smile to Kate’s face… 

(If that happens… will I finally be able to proudly say that I love you? 

(Will I be allowed to stay by your side forever?)

Even in a moment like this, the feeling rising in my chest was— hope for the future I was about to lose.

I forced myself to kill off the urge to cling onto such a thing.

Liam: I wonder if I’ll still be a nuisance to Kate even after I’m reborn…

(I don't want to bother you.)

(But…)

(But… I’m sorry.) 

Liam: … But… I wish to meet Kate again…

(I never want to be born into this world again.)

(And yet, I want to meet you.) 

(And to meet you, I’m even willing to be born again.)

Liam: How strange … this is a thrilling situation that could satisfy my curiosity.

Liam: And yet I’m not the least bit excited…

I shut my eyes and spread my arms wide open, like a bird about to take flight.

And then I threw myself out. 

But—.

Kate: — LIAM! 

When I opened my eyes again, there you were.

You were right in front of me, holding onto my life.

alfons v.s. ring . . . alfons sylvatica END 🪞

— this translation may not be 100% accurate or contain creative liberties due to characterization or narrative flow purposes. if you enjoy, please consider reblogging, but don’t repost these or claim these as your own!

— cw: a public display of affection. enjoy this alfons fluff where he gets jelly and sulky 🤭

Alfons: Well, Kate... between me and Ring, who do you choose as your lover?

(Hm... it’s a really hard choice, but I would choose...)

Kate: I choose you then, Alfons.

Ring: I see...

Alfons: I suppose that is simply to be expected [1], seeing that Kate is positively head over heels for me.

Kate: I-I mean, yes, I do like you... but there’s more to this than that too...

K: From what I could see since arriving here at the manor, I felt you were cut out for this.

After all, he possessed an observant eye to catch the pair of bracelets, and he was also able to gather information about room assignments.

His quick judgment and reflexes were exceptional to say the least,

so even putting any favoritism aside, I still would have thought it better to choose Alfons.

Ring: ...I agree, I thought it was incredible how you used your ability.

R: I really do have a lot to learn. Even if I find it frustrating thinking that about someone as unpleasant as you.

R: I’m starting to see what Dari meant when he said this would be a good learning opportunity.

Alfons: If you so wish for it, Ring, I will be more than happy to teach you a great many things.

A: That said, I reckon there is nothing more important than being aware of your strengths and making them a part of yourself.

Ring: If I do that, will I someday be able to... um...

(...?)

While muttering to himself, Ring looked over at me.

——It was at that moment when Alfons, who was standing next to me, grabbed my chin.

Kate: Mn!?

And then my vision was filled to the brim with him as I realized I was being kissed.

Kate: mn...huu...ah...

(We’re... we’re still in front of Ring though...)

It was as though he was making a show out of it, his tongue intertwining with mine, making wet sounds and gently biting my lips.

I felt as though the embarrassment I was feeling would take me away any moment, but the kiss felt so good...

...and it wasn’t long before my mind was filled with nothing else but Alfons.

Kate: ...mn...

A while passed before, satisfied, Alfons let go.

Alfons: So, when you say, ‘If I do that, will I someday be able to...’

A: Would it be safe to say that you meant that you would like Kate here to acknowledge you as well?

Ring: Ah... yeah... I guess, something like that.

R: This time, I wasn’t able to do much.

Seeing the two of us suddenly initiate a kiss without so much as a warning, Ring responded with a somewhat resigned tone.

Kate: Well… I did choose Alfons this time, but that’s not to say you were incompetent in any way, Ring.

K: Your ability to take action today has helped a lot… so really, thank you.

Ring: …Is that so? Then I’m glad.

Alfons: For the record… I have absolutely no intention of handing the role of being Kate’s lover to you.

A: Whether for a mission or in private, not now, and not ever, yes?

After we separated from Ring, we entered the room we were aiming for and completed the mission.

Kate: Looks like we managed to get a hold of the deal’s time and place without issue.

Alfons: That we indeed did. And now that we have completed this mission without so much as a hitch, why don’t we head back?

Kate: …

Alfons: Is there something on your mind?

Kate: I do find it this bit hard to say… but since I don’t want to mull on it, I’ll just say it outright.

K: Alfons, are you angry?

Alfons: …Now whatever makes you think that?

Kate: I mean, this room is meant for doing those kinds of things…

K: So, you know, I thought that you would have pushed me down on the bed by now, under normal circumstances.

K: Or maybe ask if we could do a medical role play, seeing as we have a stethoscope here that we used to eavesdrop on them, something like that…

Alfons: Ahha! I do find myself wondering just what your mind is making of me, coming up with such scenarios?

Kate: ‘A walking offense to public morals.’

Alfons: Well… I suppose there is some truth to that.

Even being told that, Alfons still seemed unclear.

(At first I thought he was angry, but I can’t think of anything that would make him so in the first place.)

(…Unless.)

Kate: You’re not angry, but rather sulking… is that it?

Alfons: Sulking, you say…

Kate: Not that I know why, but I guess… you sort of came off that way a bit, so.

Alfons: …

A: I, for the love of me, could not make any sense of this. It’s the first time I’m feeling something so strange, so what to call this was positively beyond me.

A: But now that you mention it, perhaps it is as you say.

The Alfons in front of me looked like a child who didn’t know what to make of what he was feeling, and seeing that, I couldn’t help but feel slightly worried.

Kate: Do you know why you may be feeling this way?

Alfons: Because of Ring, if I had to say.

A: You were practically spoiling him so much, what could I do other than be by my lonesome and sulk away?

(So, did he kiss me in front of Ring out of spite? But even so…)

Kate: To be clear, I wasn’t spoiling Ring.

Alfons: But you were following him and whatnot, no?

A: I assume you would tire of a lecherous scoundrel like myself and find yourself drawn to someone more pure in disposition, no?

(How to say it… Alfons seems a tad bit… troublesome?)

(…But I also can’t help but think that very side of him is just as endearing as well.)

Kate: The reason I’ve been following Ring, as you say…

K: …is because I wouldn’t like it if he got the wrong idea about you being someone who only relished in other’s reactions.

K: Besides, he did say in the beginning that if anything happened, he would cut them down… and if possible, I would like to avoid a fight that came down to that.

Alfons: …

Kate: And all that aside, weren’t you the one who wanted Ring to come along in the first place?

K: If you didn’t like Ring, you could’ve chosen one of the other two.

Alfons: Darius seems to have a questionable character at best, and Nica looks to be a philanderer. I would want to play with anyone but those two.

Kate: Aside from that, though, were you also thinking I’d get involved with them?

Alfons: Yes, actually, very much so, considering of all people, the one you have fallen in love with was me.

(Urgh, I can’t argue with that…)

Kate: …My feelings won’t ever sway. The only one I’ll ever like is you, Alfons.

K: Besides, you are also the one who made me think of nothing but you, right?

When I tried to clearly make my point so he would believe me, Alfons finally relaxed and gave me a smile.

Alfons: Indeed… then, one last thing.

A: You’re quite drawn to Ring, are you not?

Kate: T-that is…

Alfons: Unfortunately, I am not so easily fooled. I do watch over you closely, after all.

Kate: I won’t deny being a bit drawn to him. But it’s not in any romantic way.

K: What I mean to say is Ring is like a younger brother who is in his rebellious phase… do you not feel that way toward him as well?

K: I see the world with you at its center. And if that’s the case…

K: …then I end up seeing Ring as like a tall younger brother, so I can’t help but want to spoil him, so to speak…

Alfons: ……… [surprised]

Kate: And when he said he had a lot of experience, he was probably lying about that. And so I felt like I couldn’t leave him alone.

Alfons: …Pfft, ahahaha! Now that is something I was not expecting…

A: That said, I do see where you come from. One just cannot help but want to tease someone like him.

Kate: Do go easy on him though, okay?

Alfons: I wiiill.

With that weight off his chest, a refreshing smile played on his lips.

Alfons: Then, how about we do a role play? One where ‘it’s my first time,’ that is.

Ellis Twilight: Blind Love Ending Epilogue

Chapter 25

It's only been a few days since I started living in Crown Manor.

Ellis is out with Jude on a slightly dangerous job, and I'm staying home today.

Kate: I want to know more about the things Ellis likes...

After dinner, I have a couple of light cocktails in the parlor with the Crown members, who were discussing having some drinks.

My quiet musing is picked up by keen ears.

Alfons: Are you talking about bedroom play? Ellis is young, so he's probably interested in all sorts of things, isn't he?

Kate: That's not it...!

Roger: What? You're always lovey-dovey, but you have concerns? That's surprising.

Harrison: I also thought things were going well since you're always all over each other.

Kate: Uh... Is that how we seem...? I'm sorry...

Liam: It just means that your happy aura is brightening up Crown Manor.

Alfons: Even Jude seems to have lost some of his venom.

Elbert: So, what are your concerns...?

Kate: He's gradually started to express his desires a bit more...

Kate: But most of the things Ellis wants to do are things that make me happy too.

Alfons: Oh?

Roger: Hmm?

Kate: It can be a little troubling sometimes, but he's never said anything that truly bothers me.

Kate: I wonder if I'm...making him hold back?

Elbert: That's...not really a concern, but rather...

Harrison: Bragging?

Alfons: You want to be extremely troubled? That's quite masochistic.

Kate: That's not what I meant...!

Liam: Okay, okay! Is it no good to have Ellis tell you with words?

Liam: Like, whenever you think he likes something, make sure he says, "I like this."

Ellis: Is that okay?

Kate: Wah!?

Suddenly, the voice of my lover, the source of my concerns, comes from behind me, and I jump up from the sofa.

Turning around, I see Ellis leaning over me with his hand on the back of the sofa.

(Ah, he's already taken a shower.)

No matter how many times I see him in a casual shirt, my heart skips a beat.

Kate: Ellis, welcome back.

Ellis: ...That.

Kate: Hmm?

Ellis: That, I like. "Welcome back," from you.

Kate: ...! You were listening...?

Ellis: Yeah, from partway through. Is this how I should let you know?

(Th-this might be more embarrassing than I thought... But I can learn about Ellis too!)

Kate: Y-yes. Please.

Ellis replied cheerfully.

-

Kate: Ellis, it's time to wake up... You have work today.

Ellis: Mmm... I'll wake up if you kiss me...

I give Ellis, who is snuggled up against the pillow next to me, a kiss that just barely grazes his opposite cheek.

Then, his slightly mischievous eyes peek up at me from under his fluffy bangs.

Ellis: I like this too.

Kate: ...!

Kate: You were definitely awake, weren't you?

Ellis: Hehe, I wonder. ...Good morning, Kate.

(Ooh, this makes me happy too...)

(Isn't this strategy just going to make me happier than usual?)

Ellis: I like this too.

-

While eating gelato we bought from a street vendor during a work break, another "I like this" came out.

Kate: You've always liked this, haven't you? Snacks during work breaks.

Jude: What's that 'bout? All this "I like this, I like that," it's annoyin'.

Ellis: I also like stealing a bite of Jude's.

Jude: Hey!

Jude frowns as Ellis suddenly snatches a bite from the side.

Ellis: Kate made me realize...

Ellis: I might be quite mischievous.

Jude: I know.

(...So there were some things he wasn't holding back on before.)

(It makes me a little happy that Ellis has someone he can loosen the lid of his secret box with.)

(But I'm somehow envious that it's Jude...)

Kate: ...Don't you steal from me?

Ellis: ...

Ellis: I like that too. You getting jealous.

He whispers in my ear, and I almost drop my gelato. Ellis laughs and takes a bite from the side.

-

It started raining while we were walking back through the park after finishing a mission, taking a roundabout way home.

Ellis: Let's take shelter from the rain under that tree over there.

Hearing his suggestion, I suddenly remembered him telling me that he used to love running around with his brother.

(Ellis always adjusts his pace to mine...)

(But maybe he'd like to run at full speed sometimes like this.)

Kate: Then let's race to that tree!

Ellis: ...!

I take off running, and Ellis starts running too, his light footsteps echoing.

Ellis: Hehe, what's gotten into you all of a sudden?

(Ugh...he seems to have plenty of energy left...! )

(Do I need to go faster to be a challenge...? )

I push myself a little and increase my speed---.

––Which backfires, and I trip and fall.

Kate: Kyaa!?

Ellis: Whoa!

A hand shoots out from beside me and catches me, swiftly scooping me up into his arms.

Kate: Ah, eh, Ellis...!

Ellis: Stay still.

Before I can say anything else, Ellis, still holding me, makes a graceful dash to the tree, reaching the goal in the blink of an eye.

Ellis: Whew... You surprised me by suddenly starting to run.

(In the end, I was carried...)

Ellis: I think I know why you suddenly suggested a race.

Still holding me, Ellis looks into my face mischievously.

Ellis: It's because I said I used to like running, right?

(Ugh...he saw right through me.)

Kate: Yeah...but I messed up. I'm sorry.

Ellis: No worries. I like running with you, Kate. Even if it's not at full speed.

Ellis: I like holding hands and running, and I like carrying you and running.

Ellis: That time when I first invited you to the theater, and we ran there, it was exciting and fun.

(Ah...)

(He actually had fun that day, too.)

The twilight of that day, filled with excitement like the moment a stage curtain rises, vividly resurfaces in my mind.

(But...again, it's an "I like this" that makes me happy.)

(It's like all of Ellis's "I like this-es" are designed to make me happy.)

My love for him grows, and I hug Ellis tightly around the neck as he continues to hold me.

Ellis: I like this too.

Kate: ...What?

Ellis: You hugging my neck tightly like this.

Ellis: It smells good here.

He nuzzles his face against my neck, and my already melted heart threatens to dissolve completely.

(Ooh...me too...)

Kate: Then what about this?

Overflowing with affection, I kiss the top of his head, and after blinking in surprise,

Ellis: ...I love it.

Ellis smiles happily again.

-

Ellis: Hey, by the way, why did you want to know about the things I like?

Back at the manor, after dinner, it's just the two of us.

Ellis asks while drying my hair with a soft towel after my shower, as he always does.

Ellis: I think Al said... "She wants to be extremely troubled"?

Kate: N-no!

Realizing that the important part hadn't gotten across properly, I rephrase my thoughts.

Kate: You're trying to be...more assertive, but...

(He's showing me the contents of the box he was keeping locked away...but...)

Kate: Almost all of your desires are things that make me happy too...

Kate: So I thought you might still be holding back.

Ellis: ...Hmm.

Ellis: It's true that putting others first has become a habit.

Ellis: I thought you might be surprised if I suddenly expressed all of my desires at once.

Kate: ...! If there's anything you're holding back, I want you to tell me!

Ellis: Yeah...okay. Then come here.

Ellis puts away the towel he was using to dry my hair and takes my hand.

(Will I finally get to hear about the things Ellis is holding back...?)

My heart races with anticipation, and when I look up at Ellis, he smiles and gently pushes me onto the bed.

(W-wait...?)

Kate: Ellis...?

Ellis: ...I want to hold you until morning tonight.

He whispers in my ear as he leans over me, and my ears burn.

(W-what...?)

Ellis: You always get so soft and pliant, so I was holding back.

Kate: Eh, ah...

(Is that what he meant...?)

Ellis: ...Is that no good?

Kate: Uh...!

There's no way I can refuse after setting this up myself.

I jumped into this box without knowing what was inside, after all.

Kate: It's...okay...

Ellis: ...Kate, you're all red already. ...Cute.

Ellis: I'll make you feel really good, so don't worry.

(Did I...fall into a trap?)

His twilight-colored eyes twinkle mischievously as he gazes at me.

-

Kate: ...I can't even move a finger...

My body and mind are completely melted from the continuous outpouring of pleasure, and I can't move from the bed. Ellis's long fingers gently stroke my hair.

Ellis: I'm sorry... Are you okay?

When I look up, Ellis is looking down at me with a slightly worried expression.

(I can't believe he's the same person who was doing... that just a moment ago...)

His expression, like a puppy with drooping ears and tail, is so cute that I can't help but laugh.

Kate: ...Yeah, I'm okay... I'm happy.

Ellis: ..... :o

Ellis blinks, then gives me the most melting smile I've seen since we started this "tell me what you like" game.

Ellis: I think I like this the most.

Kate: This...?

Ellis: You, all soft and unable to move a finger because of me, but still looking so happy.

A faint, dark desire flickers in Ellis's smile.

My skin trembles as I feel Ellis's love, a little twisted and endlessly sweet.

Kate: ...You really are a troublesome lover, Ellis.

Ellis: I think you're the troublesome lover, for making me this assertive...?

Kate: ...I guess we're even then.

We entwine our arms around each other in the messy, sunlit bed, and my heart overflows with happiness.

Ellis: Do you hate being called a troublesome lover?

Kate: No.

Kate: Trouble me even more.

So much that your love binds me and I can't move.

Let's spend every day overflowing with "I like this-es," together.

FIN

Used google translate and here what they said;

[Job announcement]

I was in charge of writing Jude's main scenario ※ excluding the story from his perspective and the epilogue) in Ikemen Villain.

(Original story/plot/supervision: CYBIRD)

May this story become an eternal curse engraved deep in your heart...

[judesmoonbeauty]

IkeVil Act 2 Prologue Thoughts & Theories

This will contain spoilers, and some 18+ remarks at the end, so MDNI. Please see under the cut. As usual, these are just my thoughts and feelings.This is a word salad. And not that this is important or anything, but I was totally listening to Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake while writing this.

My first thought is: That's it?! With the Act 1 prologue being as long as it is, and even with other IkeSeries games like Pri, I felt it was too short. I was expecting and wanting more. Perhaps, Cybird will release more later, but I doubt it. Seems that they are keeping Vogel underwraps as much as they can. Less is more, maybe that's what they were thinking?

Next: The spotlight is on Vogel (as it should be), since they're apparently debuting with Roger's route. We're excited to meet them, still I didn't like that other than Victor and Harry (with his two lines of actual dialogue), no other Crown members had any lines. Their sprites just pop up (sans William because he's away per Victor), to show that they were present. Where is that amazing stare-off that went down in Roger's PV?

Tell me this wasn't it! Hopefully, we get more of their first meeting within the first chapter of each of their main stories. Which leads me to......

When Act 2 Takes Place: It takes place a week after Kate's tenure of being the Fairytale Keeper begins, and honestly, I LOVE that. We need a change of pace. Now, don’t get me twisted, there's nothing wrong with seeing her start her journey from the very beginning, but consider:

Act 2 is supposed to delve deeper into the topic of the Curse itself from what I understand. If that's the case, we need to move things along. It would make storytelling easier (I feel), if Kate has already spent a week with the villains and isn't completely ignorant about curses.

Also, we're moving further along in the routes, which tend to become progressively darker with each route passing (my opinion), not starting from the day after she arrives at the Castle will allow the writers to delve deeper into things, and give us more chapters for - hopefully - more lore.

I mean when Roger's route finally releases, I'd expect maybe some flashbacks in chapter one of the night after Kate bumps into them on their mission, and then she agrees to be his assistant. I don't personally want an entire chapter or three of that, and I would love to see Kate already with a week's worth of experience of working with Jude & Ellis (when Jude's route releases). I want her to be someone who is already capable, not stumbling around with (How do I prove myself?), we already know how she needs to do this, as she's demonstrated in their events. Let's skip that and get to the good stuff. Now about the new meat on the market.....

Darius: Well, we all know that we can't trust him, and he's super interested in William for some reason. I'd love to see that meeting happen. His disappointed face made me chuckle when he was told that William was away, and you can clearly tell that he isn't a fan of Victor. WHY?? Is it the scones? Is it because Victor keeps his precious Cursed babies safe from those who may try to destroy his family? Can't wait for the explanation, because as Victor has said in the past, he doesn't want his time with Crown to end, and Darius seems like the one who is going to end it. I know Darius hasn't done anything yet, but I feel like I need to say this: Don't be mean to Vivi!

He seems to be focused on recruiting other cursed members into his "family", and his vision of the cursed and non-cursed joing hands together and work alongside each other (so he says).

He seems to be the big-bad (Gilbert tragic backstory vibes from this one?), I could be wrong, but that's what my gut tells me. I mean they all have one, but I feel like his is going to be twisted. A type that I am weak for.....so I am trying not to look at him at all.

Anyways....He's certainly angelic looking, and because he's wearing such an obviously painted smile, I would like to see him irked (not that I hate his character or anything), I just think it'd be funny as hell to see a blood vessel pop up on his forehead.

Nica: Right, Nica is gorgeous and he is the one I look forward to the most out of the three. His sprite has teeth when it's a full smile (congrats, my man), and a part from him making a comment that he's happy that Kate is present because he doesn't want to be stuck with a bunch of guys, he's very sharp.

He discerned by himself the real reason why she was at the castle. Also, he seems to love money and power....my other weaknesses are men who enjoy those things (stares at Jude & Silvio).....he doesn't seem to have a tyrant attitude, but I look forward to learning more about him.

Also, I have a theory I believe he may be involved with Roger's betrayal of Ellis' cursed predecessor. In Roger's main route preview:

Roger: Oh, me and…..this person……We aren’t friends. This person and I are strangers.

Mysterious Youth: ….Thank you. - “That’s enough”. (screen shakes)

Now, this could be Ring, but I think it's Nica also because of the relationship chart. I re-read the relationship chart. .

So, it'll be interesting to see how this plays out and how off I am. On to our darling......

Ring: Beloved, sweet, cold, blunt and Disney Princess Ring. He is the next villain I look forward to the most. I mean, a shared cursed ability with your twin? Moody emo vibes? Adorably quiet and strong? Please, I love him and want to cuddle him. Not to mention that skin-tight, black turtle neck....yummy. A part from this, Ring doesn't seem to like making speculations based on limited information, and I appreciate that about him. I think it's also notable that is very upfront with everyone at Crown, that if they try to harm Vogel, he won't sit quietly. Love a man of action. My question is: Why is he Darius' puppet, but not Nica? Ok, last but not least......

Sprite Designs: As usual, Nana-sensei has incorporated symbolism of their fairytale group into their clothing with lots of sharp edges. Personally, I love her art style over all, I think it's beautiful. Of note, Darius has a feather as his belt buckle and I quite like that. His brooch on his neck is the recognizable symbol of Vogel (seems like a swan's head with feathers to me), and the brooch on his floofy coat looks like the face of a swan staring at me. *Ahem* And I think his little neck window could be bigger....just saying.

Nica & Ring both have identical tassels, although they are different colors. One of their tassels likewise feature the symbol of Vogel, but the other looks like cross-hatch marks(?) Feathers(?). They apparently share the same curse, perhaps it represents their shared cursed since they are connected as twins??

They also share swan-faced holster clasps. The one on Nica holds his gun holster, and Ring's holds a book holster (?).....it looks like a book holster. Is it a book about flowers? I mean, it could be a snack pouch, but really it looks like a book holster to me. Just saying.....

Last, but not least, Nica's rings. My first thought: That's hot as hell. Next thought: Shit it's going to hurt like hell when he fingers Kate. This entire time I've been worried over William's and Jude's long ass fingernails cutting Kate up when they enter her, but this this amount of rings (assuming he doesn't remove them), that's going to scrape her so much inside. They're like a toture device.....wait.....maybe he's a sadist too? Oohh, yay if he is! Either way, he is a fan a jewelry.

Well, that's it. There's a ton more that I could write about, but I'm sleepy and I'm rambling.
